NAME
pwd - print name of current/working directory
SYNOPSIS
pwd
pwd {--help,--version}
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the GNU version of pwd. pwd
prints the fully resolved name of the current directory.
That is, all components of the printed name will be actual
directory names -- none will be symbolic links.
Note that most Unix shells provide a built-in pwd command
with similar functionality so the unadorned, interactive
pwd command will usually execute the built-in version and
not this one.
OPTIONS
--help Print a usage message on standard output and exit
successfully.
--version
Print version information on standard output then
exit successfully.
